For sale: the best London investment properties

City Road, between Shoreditch and Islington, has become a hotbed of technology
and internet companies, with investment flowing. Nearly £500,000 for a
one-bedroom apartment might not sound like a bargain, but the price per
square foot is just £703. Compare that with some nearby properties, which
have sold for £1,200 per square foot, and it looks like a more competitive
investment. Prices have risen eight per cent over the past two years, and
are likely to continue.
